Energy Consumption Enhancement of Reverse-Biased Silicon-Based Mach–Zehnder Modulators Using Corrugated Slow Light Waveguides
The energy efficiency of silicon modulators can be enhanced by increasing the doping level. As an alternative solution, slow light modulators based on corrugated waveguides can also be used for improving the energy efficiency. Using numerical and analytical tools, we show that for the same level of...
